Abstract

Introduction. A theoretical model of self-oriented cognitive schemata of sexual behaviour (SO-CSSB) was proposed after a previous disambiguation review on the definition and research of sexual attitudes. A quantitative exploration of the proposal may add real-world information regarding the internal structure and the adequacy of the defined factors. Consequently, the present study aims to 1) develop a questionnaire based on the theoretical review and 2) explore the structure of the SO-CSSB model. Method. Following the SO-CSSB principles, a questionnaire was developed and evaluated. An observational cross-sectional online survey was conducted. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and a reliability analysis were performed. Results. A study sample, comprised of 188 subjects, was analysed (Age 18–56; M = 25.27; SD = 6.6; 62 male, 33.2%). The EFA yielded 16 factors with eigenvalues above 1, accounting for 67.21% of the variance (KMO = .672, Barlett’s = 3958.7, sig.<.01; item communalities between .44 and .80). Items under .49were cut off, which included values from .49 to .86. There was no correlation between components over .20, in a range from –.19 to .20. Reliability indexes varied from .46 to .86. Conclusion. A final model of 16 components followingthe SO-CSSB principles was presented. The analysis revealed certain modifications to the theoretical proposal, and the objective of adding a quantitative frame toempirically specify its factors was achieved. This outcome constitutes a step forward to developing a comprehensive model on sexual beliefs.

对性行为的态度：对综合模型的探索性分析

前言在对性行为态度的定义和研究进行分类审查之后，我们提出了一个以自我为导向的性行为认知模式（SO-CSSB）理论模型。对这一建议进行定量探索，可以增加有关定义因素的内部结构和适当性的现实世界信息。因此，本研究的目的是：1）在理论回顾的基础上编制调查问卷；2）探索 SO-CSSB 模型的结构。研究方法。根据 SO-CSSB 原则，制定并评估了一份调查问卷。进行了一次观察性横截面在线调查。进行了探索性因素分析（EFA）和可靠性分析。研究结果研究分析了由 188 名受试者组成的研究样本（年龄 18-56 岁；中位数 = 25.27；标准差 = 6.6；男性 62 人，占 33.2%）。特征值大于 1 的因子有 16 个，占方差的 67.21%（KMO = .672，Barlett's = 3958.7，sig.<.01；项目公共性介于 0.44 和 0.80 之间）。低于 0.49 的项目被切断，其中包括 0.49 至 0.86 的值。在-.19至.20的范围内，各部分之间的相关性均未超过.20。信度指数从 0.46 到 0.86 不等。结论我们提出了一个遵循 SO-CSSB 原则的由 16 个成分组成的最终模型。分析表明，对理论建议进行了某些修改，并实现了增加一个定量框架来经验性地确定其因素的目标。这一结果为建立一个全面的性信念模型迈出了一步。
